I got my first criticism of my blog this weekend. Up to now, everyone has basically said, "Wow, it's neat that you do this," or "You really made me think." But this time I was told that it sounds like I just listen to Neal Boortz in the morning and repeat what he's said. I think I out my own spin, but I ahve to admit that I agree with Boortz a lot, and he is an inspiration, so perhaps this criticism is not without merit. The other point that was made is that if I really want lots of people to read what I write, I shouldn't restrict myself to political commentary. Considering that I would prefer to be a newspaper columnist covering many issues, and not just a political columnist, this, too, has merit. Thus I will try to write on my life, and also relate funny and/or interesting stories, as opposed to just doing political commentary. That said, I do have one thing to say politically. Hillary Clinton is signing books at Barnes and Noble Buckhead on the 11th. Anyone want to meet me there and picket her? I was thinking of making a sign with a phrase I heard on a TV show, edited to this particular situation. "If Hillary is in Barnes and Noble, who's running hell?"
